Sourcing like we actually care

The Sun God

Jun 20, 2026

Why we qualify vendors, place them on hold, and sometimes fire them. Sun god sourcing, no sketchy middlemen.

No sketchy middlemen

Our holding company owns the supplier relationships and runs all testing. That means we can qualify a vendor, put them on hold, or drop them entirely.

When a lot fails, the vendor gets flagged. Repeat problems and they're gone. Sourcing right is the unglamorous half of not shipping mid.
